My Dream treks

I visited many places, trekked many mountains, but still there are many dream treks that I'm planning to do in the coming years. I really love trekking in Himalayas and they are very addictive. Once you visit Himalayas, you just can't stop loving it. From soft to moderate, Challenging to strenuous, trekking in Indian Himalayas could be a life time experience.

Mt.everest base camp:

Its my dream to reach at-least Mt.everest base camp and I'm planning to do this in May 2016. The total distance of the trek is around 100km and requires at-least 13-15 days for the entire trek. Trek plan: http://www.nepaltrekkinginfo.com/nepal/trekking/everest/everest_base_camp_trek.html

Chadar trek:

The Chadar trek is one such route, connecting villages in the Zanskar valley with Chilling along the frozen Zanskar River. It is a trek over a frozen river in Ladakh. Average mean temperature during the day is minus 10. In the night, temperatures fall to minus 20 and 25. Ice forms, breaks and changes colour on the river every few hours. At places the Chadar (or ice) does not form over the river. Trekkers then have to forge a new trail climbing over snow covered embankments to descend to a spot on the river where the ice is more stable.  For more information visit: http://www.indiahikes.in/himalayan-treks/himalayan-treks/chadar-trek/ , http://www.chadartrek.com/

Kedarnath Trek:

Kedarnath is a steep 14 km trek from Gauri Kund of Uttarakand state. Kedarnath (about 3400 m high) is approachable on foot from Gaurikund (about 2900m high), which is connected by road to Rishikesh, Kotdwar, Dehradun, Haridwar and other important hill stations of Garhwal and Kumaon region. Even though this trek will be more religious than adventure, but still I want to try it. 

Roopkund Trek (Mystery Lake Trek):

Roopkund trek is one of the must try high altitude treks in India. Roopkund Lake is a glacial lake at an altitude of 5029 metres which lies in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand in NDBR (Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve). Trek requires atleast 8-9 days with moderate+ difficulty.

Harishchandragad via nalichi vaat:

This trek is considered as one of the difficult treks in sahayadri range. Even though there are many routes to reach harishchandragad, route through nalichi vaat is considered as the most difficult. In order to reach the top through this route, we have to climb many rock patches, climbing on slippery rocks and many more hurdles en-route.

Manasaravor & Mt.Kailash:

Located in the Ngari Region of Tibet, Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarova are famous as Sacred Mountain and Holy Lake respectively. Both have often been chosen as a sacrificial center for Hindu, Buddhist, and Bonist pilgrims. Mt. Kailash is the highest peak in the massive Gangdise mountain range with an altitude over 6,600 meters (21654 ft.). Walking around the mountain is a popular ceremony despite the length and difficult terrain. According to the sayings of Buddhism, one circle around the mountain can atone for all the sins committed throughout one's lifetime. Completing ten circles will prevent eternal damnation of hell tribulation in one's reincarnations of 500 years. Completing one hundred circles will make a person one with Buddha. One circle around the mountain is 52 km (32.31 mi.) long and takes about three days. 

Manasarova lake is about 4,588 meters (15,052.49 ft.), making it one of the highest fresh water lakes in the world. The water is very limpid and bright. The Hindu legend has that it is the amrita designed by the great god Brahma that can wash away all one's sins as well as any anxiety or improper thoughts. Many pilgrims bathe in it and take some water back as a gift to their relatives and friends.  The surrounding area is the point of origin for India's two most famous rivers, the Indus and the Ganges.
